"""Build a ColecoVision/Adam cartridge ROM (.col) holding the Z80 viewer + image.
Cartridge maps at $8000. Header: magic $55 $AA (skip the Coleco title screen and
run immediately), eight pointer words, then a table of JP vectors -- the BIOS
jumps to the one at $800A (the game entry). We point that at our viewer; the RST
and interrupt vectors go to a stub (we run with interrupts disabled).
